So I surf over to the page to see how the Marscon fundraiser auction is doing.............Dayum!, I wish I was actually selling this! :-D But it's fer a good cause, to get your fave Dementia Track artists' travel expenses helped-out-with...It's up to a staggering $202.50!!!!!! There's less than 2 days left, so get those bids in!!!

I can't scream loudly enough about this band, despite that they existed only til 1967 and only released one album and 2 singles in Germany...but their influence is felt in music to this day...This is The Monks during their reunion phase, playing a concert club in England in 2006 as part of a 60s garage fest. Not present: Larry Clark, organ and Roger Johnston (d. 2004), drums. Eddie Shaw - bass, Gary Burger - guitar, Dave Day Havlicek (d. 2008) - electric banjo. Check out the documentary "monks: the transatlantic feedback" at www.playloud.org and the band's interesting history at www.the-monks.com. Like "outsider music", this is music on another plane - yes it is rock but bridges the gap between beat music and rock music, yet goes off on a tangent. It is monk music. "Higgle-Dy Piggle-Dy" LIVE 2006. It's Beat Time, It's Hop Time, IT'S MONK TIME!!!!!!!!
